At first, when they saw Fairy Sword Ji and noticed Gu Ao's grave expression, Ling Yu and the others grew worried too. But when they learned that more Outer Realm Cultivators had invaded the southern region of the God Realm, they breathed a sigh of relief. In their eyes, neither Technology Cultivators nor Rune Cultivators posed any threat to them.
Ling Tian, however, sensed that something was wrong. He asked in a low voice, "Sword Ji, Brother Gu Ao, are these Outer Realm Cultivators who invaded the God Realm this time neither Technology Cultivators nor Rune Cultivators?

Ling Tian was a clever man. He knew that if the invaders were Technology Cultivators or Rune Cultivators, Gu Ao and Fairy Sword Ji wouldn't look so grave. What was more, for all these years, Technology Cultivators had only entered the God Realm through its eastern region, while the first two groups of Rune Cultivators had entered through the western region. This time, however, Outer Realm Cultivators had invaded through the southern region. From these clues, Ling Tian guessed—no, he was certain—that the invaders belonged to another kind of Outer Realm Cultivator.
